CHOOSING A CERTIFICATION BODY


When choosing a certification body, you should:

  • Evaluate several certification bodies.
  • Check if the certification body uses the relevant standard
  • Check if it is accredited. Accreditation is not compulsory, and non-accreditation does not necessarily mean it is not reputable, but it does provide independent confirmation of competence. To find an accredited certification body.

DISPLAYING YOUR CERTIFICATE


Remember, when labelling a product or system as certified to an ISO standard:

Don't say: "ISO certified" or "ISO certification"

DO say: "ISO 9001:2015 certified" or "ISO 9001:2015 certification" (for example).
